Full Description

This stunning black and white photographic book takes us on a journey through the forgotten backstreets and hidden neighbourhoods of Bangkok revealing the fragile beauty and faded charm of the city that is about to disappear forever beneath a tidal wave of development.

From the splendid Old Customs House perched on the banks of the Chao Phraya river to the vibrant communities of Chinatown and sleepy canals lost in time, it evokes a city that despite successive waves of modernisation still boasts an extraordinarily rich and diverse cultural heritage.
